Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 5, 1918.

Application filed August 4, 1916. Serial No. 113,147.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK S. FUJIWARA, a subject of the Emperor ofJapan, residmg at Vancouver, in the Province of British Colmnbia andDominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inWriting-Pens; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear,and exact description ofrthe invention, such as will enable othersskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The object of this invention is to increase the ink holding capacity ofa writing pen point, by providing a simple, cheap, durable and efiicientattachment for the pen point that will take up a larger quantity of ink,at a single dipping of the pen point in an ink well.

Other objects will appear and be better understood from that embodimentof my invention of which the following is a specification, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawing forming a part thereof in whichFigure l is a side view of a pen holder with the pen point associatedtherewith and showing the attachment applied to the pen point.

Fig; 2 is a top plan view of the pen point detached from the holder andshowing the attachment.

Fig. 3 is a bottom plan View of the pen point.

Referring to the drawing in detail, the letter A designates a penholder, and B a pen point carried thereby, the said pen point being ofthe usual construction, but in this particular instance having the sidesthereof provided with recesses 1.

The attachment, for the pen point, is des ignated as an entirety by thenumeral 2 and as shown more particularly in Fig. 2 is mounted on theupper side of the pen point, and includes an arcuate shaped head 3 thatengages over the upper side of the pen point,

at a point between the recesses 1 and has its opposite ends bent toprovide clips4thatare received by the recesses 1 and engage agamst theunder face of the pen point, as shown in Fig. 3. The head 3 carries astem 5, that is of a width considerably less than the width .of the penpoint and has its free end pointed, as shown at Sand spaced inwardlyfrom the writing point of the pen. The stem 5 is curved longitudinally,as shown in Fig. l and provides a reservoir for receiving a quantity ofink, at the'dipping of the pen point into an ink well, said stem 5having an elongated opening 7 therein to facilitate the flow of ink frombeneath the stem 5.

With a reservoir attachment constructed in the manner above described, alarger" Having thus described my invention what I claim as new is v Apen point attachment comprising a relatively large head arcuately curvedto snugly fit the upper surface of the pen point and having its oppositesides bent inwardly toward each other to provide fastening elements toengage around and under the longitudinal edges of a pen point, and areduced stem formed on said head and extending forwardly toward and intoclose proximity to the point of the pen, said stem being curvedlongitudinally so as to engage the pen point at one place, and said stemhaving an elongated slot therein, as and' for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
